1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 2: Wednesday edition. 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: The primary in Texas is over continued discussion of the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: war in Iran. Our buddy Jesse Kelly will join us 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: in the second hour. In the third hour, we are 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: hoping that maybe io Eckstein will be able to join us. 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: She is from the IFCJ. As missiles are raining down 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: on Israel. We will see whether that ends up happening 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: or not. But we appreciate all of you hanging out 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: with us, and let's go right to it. I've said 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: before Buck that I love early morning press conferences, and 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: I understand that people in media do not like to 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: get up early in the morning. I had five years 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: of early morning radio nobody else was awake. I love 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: making media members get up early and have to go 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: cover events. I've talked about it at the White House. 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: I particularly love that the Secretary of War and that 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: everybody there is doing early morning press conferences because it 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: sets the entire agenda of the day. And here is 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: what I thought was the most significant aspect of what 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that basically, and Buck, 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: I want you to analyze this as well. We are 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: close to having complete and total control of the skies 24 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: over Iran. Here is cut six. 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 3: US and Israeli air power every minute of every day 26 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: until we decide it's over in Iran, we'll be able 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: to do nothing about it. 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: B two S B fifty two s. 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: B ones, predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets, 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: death and destruction from the sky all day long. We're 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: playing for keeps. Fighters have maximum authorities granted personally by 32 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: the President and yours. 33 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 5: Truly. 34 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to 35 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: to be a fair fight, and it is not a 37 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: fair fight. We are punching them while they're down, which 38 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: is exactly how it should be. 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: All right, we're finishing them. Would be another way of 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: pointing this out. Buck Let me hit you with another 41 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: couple of pieces of data. Raisin Kine, as Trump calls him, 42 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: General Kane, says Iran's this is a direct quote. Ballistic 43 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: missile shots fired are down eighty six percent from the 44 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: first day of fighting, twenty three percent decrease just in 45 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. One way attacked drones down 46 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: seventy three percent from. 47 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: The opening salvos that were fired. 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Why is this significant Because what we are seeing is 49 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Iran's ability to fire back is diminishing in a hurry. 50 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: And I I understand that the talking points are this 51 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: war has just begun. I think that is largely to 52 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: try to drive Iran towards an agreement on who the 53 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: next leader will be. But to me the story now, 54 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and you correct me if you see anything else here 55 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: is Iran's ability to fire back sort of indiscriminately, which 56 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: they've been doing peppering many different Gulf states with drones 57 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: with missiles is basically vanishing. Soon it will be gone, 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: and when that occurs, America's air superiority will be even 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: more pronounced. And then it's really just a question of 60 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: to what extent is Iran willing to negotiate with us 61 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to determine what their new government will look like and 62 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: who the leaders are. Is that a fair assessment in 63 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: your mind? 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Well, mostly yes, except negotiate with whom This is the 65 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: problem is that there really is not a sort of 66 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: set and clear alternative to what we currently have, which 67 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: is now gone or rather is mostly gone. And there's 68 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: a lot of factionalism. This is where you get into 69 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: This is a large and complicated country. We've thought of 70 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: it as in this country, I think a lot of 71 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: the media coverage has made people think of it more 72 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: as a monolith. People will refer to all Iranians as Persians. Well, 73 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: Persians are just one ethnic group actually in around sixty 74 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: percent according to the numbers that I saw Buck. There 75 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: are Kurds, there are Azeris, there are Turkmen, there are 76 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: I mean, there are so many different ethnic factions otherwise 77 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: that I can't name. I mean there's a dozen or 78 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: more that will make the list. There's a lot of them. 79 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 2: As the point, and when you actually talk about a 80 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: resistance forming from within, I think what we what we want? Clay, 81 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: the lesson of Iraq is you cannot remove everybody who 82 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: had any function in the pre previous government unless you 83 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: want bloody anarchy, which is what we ended up getting. 84 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: You cannot have every person who ever held a gun 85 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: for and and received a paycheck from a government that 86 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: is what was run by the Ayatola or formerly run 87 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: by the Ayatola. 88 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 6: Uh. 89 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: You can't get rid of all of them. You need 90 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: somebody from within who has enough Uh, Wasta. I think 91 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: they would say in the in the in Arabic, in 92 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: the Middle East, you need somebody with enough juice that 93 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: they can say, all right, we can calm things down. 94 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: We can approach America or American intermediaries directly. There's already 95 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: reporting out there. I mean, there's reporting up on CNN 96 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: of I mean, this is the CNN report. It says 97 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: c I A working to arm Kurdish Kurdish forces to 98 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: spark uprising in Iran, according to sources. Is that true? 99 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: Is that not true? This is what this is what 100 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: CNN is reporting. I can tell you this. That's that 101 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: comes with a lot the whole Kurdish thing. We went 102 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: through this in Iraq, and the Kurds are often pretty 103 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: reliable allies they fight. They kept northern Iraq very stable 104 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: even during the worst periods of the Iraqi insurgency. Anybody 105 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: who was if you went from you know, Baghdad or 106 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: Ramadi or or Mozil to Airbil. In the military military side, 107 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: it felt like you were in a completely different country. Uh, 108 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: if you were in what they called Kurdistan. But the 109 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: Turks get very aggravated because there's a lot of a 110 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: lot of Kurds in Turkey, and they have their own 111 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 2: separatist problem in Turkey. So it's just you're you're getting 112 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: into midiese factionalism here. What you need is someone who 113 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: is a rational actor from within the existing apparatus, not 114 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: an ideologue, not bloodied substantially by engaged in you know, 115 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: IRGC coulds for stuff or whatever. Does this person exist? 116 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. I you know, we talked about venez 117 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: Venezuela is different. Venezuela has had democratic elections until quite recently. 118 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: And yes there's oppression, and there's been the you know, 119 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 2: the Majuro regime stole the last election, and yes they've 120 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: been thaugash. But Clay, you don't have to go back 121 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: very far for there to be something resembling a real 122 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: election in Venezuela. You go back to twenty twelve, right, right, 123 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: And and that's when Chavez took took charge. I believe, right, 124 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: wasn't it twenty twelve, twenty eleven, twenty twelve. So in 125 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: the Islamic Republic you got to talk rather, you know, 126 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: in Iran you got to go back to nineteen seventy nine, 127 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: and even then they didn't have elections. They had a shaw. 128 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: So what is the game plan for all of this? 129 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: I think it's being figured out on the fly, but 130 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: I think that Secretary of War hegseats plan is We're 131 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: going to completely defang the snake and then most see 132 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: if the snake wants to play ball. But the snake 133 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: will have no fangs, that is for sure. And I 134 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: just let me. 135 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: Let me make a suggestion, because I know we got 136 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the administration who listen. I 137 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: think one of the most compelling arguments they can make. 138 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: And Buck again, tell me if you think this is crazy. 139 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I made it yesterday, but I haven't seen it because 140 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: now the argument is well, they haven't really been able 141 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: to give us a full throated explanation of what the 142 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: motivation is. Well, the motivation is clearly to keep Iran 143 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: from getting nuclear weapons. That's the motivation for all of this. 144 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: This is basically doing to Iran what we should have 145 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: done to North Korea in the nineteen nineties. The world 146 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: would be infinitely better if that crazy fat dictator in 147 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: North Korea did not have nuclear weapons, and and now 148 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: that he does, we can't really do anything. The world 149 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: is unstable because of him. Do we want a Now, 150 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: the only thing I will say in favor of Kim 151 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: jong Un probably get clipped. 152 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: People will be like Clay Travis loves Kim jong Un. 153 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: Clay Travis loves Kim jong Un, loves all the big posters, 154 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: the pot belly, all of it. 155 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: Big Kim jong Un. Guy here, he's not a religious fundamentalist. 156 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: That's the only thing I think you can say in 157 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: his favor in your Korea. I don't think he's a 158 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: religious fundamentalist. You know, he's just he's just God. But 159 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: that's the whole He thinks he's God. But yeah, well 160 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: that's but my point when you're God. But yeah, okay, 161 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: Well my point is he's not reading a book convinced 162 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: that everybody else who is not a member of that 163 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: religion is an infidel. And he's not trying to impose 164 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: his religion. I don't think so. I look, you're kind 165 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: of too hard after. 166 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: I'm pretty familiar with North Korea stuff, and I got 167 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 2: to tell you, they they have the most crazy. They're 168 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: absolutely you know, like we are vermin, We not non 169 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: Koreans are considered vermin in North Korean propaganda, I mean 170 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: actually sub human. Uh And and they use all kinds 171 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: of but. 172 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: But it's it's a crazy place. We agree, we we 173 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: wish that they did not have nuclear weapons. My point is, 174 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: to my knowledge, North Korea has been unable to in 175 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: some way or even demonstrate that they're going to enact 176 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: terror upon the rest of the world in a substantial way. 177 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Now they had the one attack on the subway. 178 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: They do terror. They do the terrorism thing too. If 179 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: you're your point is that you're. 180 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Trying to be positive here in saying that I think 181 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Iran having nuclear weapons is even more dangerous than North Korea. 182 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: But the argument should be that North Korea having nuclear 183 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: weapons is absolutely awful for the world, and if we 184 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: had been smart in the early nineties, we would have 185 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: wiped out their ability to ever have nuclear weapons. 186 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: That's what we're doing with Iran. 187 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: And I think Iran is even more dangerous than North 188 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Korea based on what they have demonstrated for fifty years 189 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: now that they want to wipe many countries off the world, 190 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: including Israel, but also death to America everything else. 191 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: So the argument to me is pretty clear. 192 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: It is President Trump is making a determination that for 193 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: the next forty years or fifty years, or who knows, 194 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: how long we're not going to have to deal with 195 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: the nuclear Iran because it destabilizes the rest of the 196 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: world even more than North Korea does now. And if 197 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: we could go back in time into the nineties, we 198 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: would have wiped out North Korea's nuclear ambitions. I haven't 199 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: heard anybody make that argument. I think that's the best 200 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: argument for what we're doing with Iran right now. 201 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: We certainly didn't want another nuclear standoff like what we 202 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: had with North Korea. But North Korea has already been 203 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 2: whether it's for proliferation or destabilizing activity, support of terrorism, assassinations, kidnappings. 204 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: The North Korean Intelligence Service operates like a a a 205 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: nation state backed you know, basically terrorist operation. 206 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: So you're my argument of trying to be kind and 207 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: say that Iran is a more dangerous North Korea, you 208 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: actually think North Korea might be more. 209 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: Korea is the craziest place. North Korea is the craziest 210 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: place on planet Earth. 211 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: By f I was too kind. I was too kind 212 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: to Kim Jong uk. It would be good, it would 213 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: be good if we didn't have a North Korean twin 214 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: with nuclear weapons. That to me is a really signed 215 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: that we did not need to understand, I co signed 216 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: that we did not need a country with totalitarian dictatorship 217 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: that also believes if we have a massive war will 218 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: harken the return of the twelfth Imam and there's religious 219 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: prophecy that will come out of the nuclear flames. But 220 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: North Korea does want to kill everybody in South Korea 221 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: and probably America too, So we got they really do 222 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: or is that just a delusional crazy person? 223 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: More so like the executed senior generals of the North 224 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: Korean regime with anti aircraft pieces just to make a point, 225 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: They're pretty crazy. 226 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: He's crazy. It's bad that he has nuclear weapons. I 227 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: just I look at North Korea and say, if Kim 228 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: Jong un was gone, I think North Korea actually could 229 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: reconciliate with South Korea, and there is a way in 230 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: which that country eventually. 231 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: Could return to normalcy in the world. 232 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: And and much of it is a cult of personality 233 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: driven around one person. And uh, maybe I'm just too 234 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: kind of North Korea. There is the possibility, maybe the 235 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: headlines play is too kind of North Korea. 236 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna get a invite to peong Yang 237 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: at this rate, you and me and Dennis Rodman. 238 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna be just chilling playing a basketball game with 239 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: with my boy Kim Jong Un. I will say the 240 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: stories of what they did when that movie was made 241 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: about the assassination of Kim Jong Un. Uh the interview 242 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: I think with uh with James who did that movie 243 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: back in the day. Do you remember that movie where 244 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: they James Franco, James Franco and Seth Rogan that. 245 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: Led to the hacking of Sony, which was a huge problem. 246 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: By the way, just the point about North Korea, Clay, 247 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: they also operate as nation state backed global hackers trying 248 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: to everything from crypto to state secrets to and what 249 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: are you gonna do? You're gonna go ton Interpol and 250 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: say hey, we think that we trace the source to 251 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: North Korea. Good luck with that one. 252 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: But if we could go back in time and wave 253 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: a magic wand and we wiped out North Korea's ability 254 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: to ever have nuclear weapons, North Korea might not exist 255 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: as a country today, right, Like that been true? That 256 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: was so the analogy here of trying to avoid creating 257 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: another North Korea, to me, I think is a really 258 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: good one. Have you heard anybody making that argument. I 259 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: haven't heard it. Anywhere. 260 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: Well, the argument you will hear people make is the 261 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: is the Kadafi lesson, isn't reconcile with America. If you're 262 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: a dictator, it's geting nukes as fast as you can, 263 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: because otherwise that's that's the other side. 264 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: Always, that's the rational choice to make. And if you 265 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: question it, Ukraine wouldn't have gotten invaded by Russia if 266 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: they hadn't given up their nukes. 267 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: That's also true. 268 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: And we promised them that that would never have it, 269 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: protect them and allow that to happen. The Bunipest memorandum. Yeah, 270 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: not good. 271 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 5: Not good. 272 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: Our partners at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 273 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: are on the ground in Israel right now.

First hour. 290 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: We're talking a lot about Iran and the unbelievable aerial 291 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: campaign that we are getting a lot of details from 292 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: a secretary War Pete heg Seth, commander of Sencom I believe, 293 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: did a pretty detailed briefing. I was watching that last 294 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: night on what we are hitting in that country, and 295 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: they are just any military. We own the sky. We 296 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: have a technology and and a military capacity that is 297 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: just far beyond anything the Iranians could could even imagine, 298 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: and that is on full display. And the idea here 299 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 2: is to completely newter the Iranian military and and make 300 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: it so that they can't hit us. And now it's 301 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: just a question or it will become a question of 302 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: what the political resolution will be when they no longer 303 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: have the capacity to fire off missiles and and create 304 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: that kind of mayhem. We wanted to shift gears here 305 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 2: for a second. Oh and by the way, we will 306 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: we will let you know if Clay decides to take 307 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: a week on the beach in North Korea, if he 308 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: wants to go to one of these North Korean resorts, 309 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: We're gonna make sure Laura has like extra special insurance, 310 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: you know, kidnapping insurance in place for him, and and 311 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: we we will let you know in advance before he. 312 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: The only country buck that with your CIA expertise, you 313 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: think might be crazy enough to actually take an American hostage, 314 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: and I mean somebody they've done it before, Yeah, but 315 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean like an actual media person because a lot 316 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: of times you'll see I wouldn't go to Russia. 317 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 2: I wouldn't go to Russia either. I know there are 318 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 2: some Americans, including on the right, who have been there 319 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 2: in reach. I wouldn't go to Russia because you just 320 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: if they decide that there's something about China, like I've 321 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 2: been to China, but would you go now? I would, Yes, 322 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: I would go back to China. But I would be 323 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 2: very nervous about it. I would be. I would not 324 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: I would not be having a great time checking out 325 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: all the temples and the history and everything else. I 326 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: would be. 327 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: When I went in Clay, I didn't bring a single 328 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: piece of electronics with me, and that was because I 329 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: knew from my old life what the Chinese do. And 330 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: I didn't even bring a kindle, I mean nothing, if 331 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: it had electricity, did not bring it. I brought a 332 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: wind up watch. 333 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: That was it. Uh. And then I rented a phone 334 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: there go talk with that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I rented 335 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: a phone in country to use and just knew that everything, 336 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: everything was being monitored and everything was being tracked. 337 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 5: Uh. 338 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 2: And that is the way that country functions. And that, 339 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: by the way, that is it is not paranoia, that 340 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: is reality. There, there's no it's not oh maybe, Oh no, 341 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: I was being monitored for sure. Uh. So Uh that 342 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: that's that's a country that I would go back to 343 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: under this or on behalf of the US government, absolutely 344 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: as a civilian. Probably I uh Russia, no way, I 345 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: would go as a civilian. I'd go on behalf of 346 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: the US government, but only in an official capacity. And 347 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 2: North Korea. Certainly only in an official capacity, not as 348 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: a not as a civilian, because you know, everyone thinks 349 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: that our government is going to have their back and 350 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: take care of things. The State Department's pretty busy. You 351 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: do not want to be relying on some embass see 352 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: bureaucrats somewhere to be getting your case in front of 353 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: the president asap. Although hopefully Clay could call Trump and 354 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: be like your good friend Buck, he's uh, he's in 355 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: Pyongyang in a dungeon. We got to get him out. 356 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 2: We got to get him out. Some people are saying, 357 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: you know, I don't think Trump would let you or 358 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: me rot in a peong Yang dungeon, but it might 359 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: take him a few days to get us out, So 360 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: I would rather not do that. All right, let's get 361 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: into uh, let's get into okay. I also, by the way, 362 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 2: Biden diministry, I would feel differently going as a civilian 363 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: under Trump that I went under under a Democrat. 364 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: We actually truly good because we like the Trump White House, 365 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: and I do think Trump would get us out, but 366 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't know that I would. 367 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 2: I don't know that I think Biden would let us 368 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: rot for a while. I really do. I think either 369 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: of us. I think that's just the nature of America today, unfortunately, 370 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: that the Democrats are so part is in on this 371 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: stuff that they would want to make an example anyway. 372 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: Uh So, yes, Clay, don't, don't go to North Korea. 373 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: And in the meantime we got James Taller Rico. What 374 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: does that have to do with anything. Well, he's now 375 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 2: the Democrat nominee for that Senate contest in Texas, and 376 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: he has said some interesting things. He has said some 377 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: interesting things. We talked about this in the last or 378 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: we mentioned we would get to this in the last hour. 379 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: By the way, we're hoping that Yaile Eckstein of the 380 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews will join us during 381 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 2: the third hour. She's in Israel, calm situation. There can 382 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: be a little difficult getting all of our internet stuff 383 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 2: lined up, but we'll see if we can get her. 384 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 2: We'll certainly be talking to her soon about what the 385 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: sense is from the ground in Israel given the war 386 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 2: with Iran going on, which of course Israel's a participating in. 387 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: Israel's engaged in these air strikes too. So here we 388 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: have tall Rico. This was back in twenty twenty one 389 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 2: when he was a state rep. This is cut twenty nine. 390 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 391 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 4: I want us all to be aware of is that 392 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 4: modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than 393 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 4: two biological sexis. In fact, there are six, which, honestly, 394 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 4: Rivers and Hefner surprising. Surprised me too, because I am 395 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 4: you know, I am not well versed in this this 396 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 4: issue area. I'm not a scientist. I'm a politician a 397 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 4: lot worse than a scientist. 398 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: There are six sexes? Would you even know what they 399 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: would be? I'm going to have good guests somebody. It 400 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: would have been great to just push him on this thing, 401 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: be like, Okay, since you think there are six, what 402 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: are the six? Do you think you and I could 403 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 2: come up with? A male female no now playing their 404 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 2: crazy game trans non binary? That's four? Okay, we got 405 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: we got two more, buddy. I'm I'm blanking out right here. 406 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: But is trans even one that you would acknowledge? I 407 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: thought the whole thing with trans was I'm sorry, Clay, 408 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 2: are you a racing trans people right now? Yes? 409 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Of course, I think I'm actually making the pro trans 410 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: I thought the whole trans argument is that they're actually 411 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: just the sex that they claim they are. 412 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: You. This is fascinating because you are correct. And yet 413 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: I think it is recognized as one of the six 414 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 2: in the Tallarico construct world. Yes, so it. 415 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: Could be trans so trans female trans male would be two, 416 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: even though they're arguing that they're actually the same, right 417 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: that that that this is not a trend like so, 418 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: and then inner would intersex be one like where you're 419 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: actually a mix of male female, which is a biological reality. 420 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: Probably that that is a very rare it used to 421 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: calle Is that a bad word? 422 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 5: Now? 423 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what that you still use now in 424 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: that context, I'm not sure what's appropriate. 425 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: And then with hermaphrodites, often there is we're talking science here, folks, 426 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 2: so just just trying to be Often it's there's more 427 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 2: of one set of gonads than the other. And you 428 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: usually a hermaphrodite will have, for example, a micro penis, 429 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: which is a real thing. It is it is lot. 430 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: I know a lot of you want to make jokes 431 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: about democrats right now, but ye uh, there's a lot 432 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: there's there's a thing called a micro penis, and that hermaphrodite. 433 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: This is science. I could hear I can just feel 434 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: some of them laughing, as this is science. You call 435 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 2: me out. 436 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: You are a hermaphrodite. They treat you as a woman 437 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: in pump you. 438 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: Full of estrogen? 439 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 5: Right? 440 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 2: Isn't that typically the way? I think you are generally 441 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 2: more female than male as a hermaphrodite. Hence the micro 442 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: penis reality, which I think they because it is it's 443 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: truly like a vestigial and so it can be removed. 444 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: And you get into whether your gonads are internal or external. 445 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: Obviously external gonads would be male genitalia. I believe hermaphrodites 446 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: tend to have the internal genitalia, which is why they 447 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 2: are all for a whole bunch of reasons. They're more female, 448 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: uh than male, and that is how they go. But okay, 449 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: but back to the six sexes. So we're here. 450 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: This is not going to play well in Texas, Buck sexes. 451 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 2: I'm here on Texas? Is what the heck is Buck 452 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 2: talking about internal donuts external donuts. I'm just saying the 453 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: six sexes. 454 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: When they put this ad up and he's wearing a 455 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: mask and he's testifying under oath that there are actually 456 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: six genders or six sexes. Most Texans are going to say, 457 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: what is going to become rapidly uh clear as these 458 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: ads start to run. This guy is not some moderate, 459 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: middle of the road religious democrat, which is the way 460 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: that they are going to try to contextualize him. He's 461 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: actually as crazy as most Democrats, maybe even crazier. 462 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: This this is this is producer producer Greg I think 463 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 2: just pulled this for us. So in this case, his 464 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 2: six sexes. He's talking about chromosomal abnormalities. So it's actually 465 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: not they're talking He's talking about sex in the context 466 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: of chromosomes, not gender identity. So we went to gender idea. 467 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 2: You know, this is the we went to gender identity. 468 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 2: He's talking about things like x Y is male, xx 469 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: is female, just x is Turner syndrome, x x y 470 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: is Kleinfelter syndrome, x y y is Jacob syndrome, and 471 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 2: x x x y. Okay, by the way, these are 472 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: all scientific or medical realities. They're they're very very rare. 473 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: None of this has anything to do with the gender 474 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: identity discussion or debate that the left is obsessed with. 475 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: Correct So so the only one that would would you 476 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 2: have to look at it. I don't even know what 477 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: all these different team look up how common are these things? 478 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, that's only five, so I don't 479 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 2: think again he didn't further answer to your point. This 480 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: is one where the follow up question should have been Okay, sorry, 481 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: what are the six genders? This is just them looking 482 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 2: this up and giving us five here is uh here wait, 483 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: hold way, but hold on a second, Hold on a second. 484 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 2: Kleinfelter syndrome is a genetic condition in males. Yeah, that's 485 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. This is just this. 486 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: Is not a this is not this doesn't mean you're 487 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: a different He's talking about the gender identity stuff and yeah, 488 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: but no, but he's trying to conflate it. 489 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: Is my point. He's playing games here, because this is 490 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: what I was gonna say. I'll say, if you if 491 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: you have an extra chromosome, you have some uh, you 492 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: generally have low fertility and maybe this is why he 493 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 2: knows so much about this low testosterone. But you're a guy. 494 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: No one thinks you're not a guy. You just have 495 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: a chromosomal issue, right, so you're not a different sex. 496 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: Here are a couple of other examples of this guy 497 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: being crazy. By the way, and this is why. I 498 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: think again, his trans takes here are going to be everywhere, 499 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: and most Texans are going to say this guy's crazy. 500 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: He says trans people need abortions too. Woman is not 501 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: an exhaustive term. Cut twenty seven. Does this sound like 502 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: a Texan moderate to you? 503 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 4: I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion 504 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 4: care too. Defending trans Texas is something we have to 505 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 4: do every day at the state Capitol, and you better 506 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 4: believe I'll be getting sermons on that too. So when 507 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 4: I use the word woman, it should not be understood 508 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 4: as an exhausted term, but rather as a as a 509 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy. 510 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: Oh my god, this dude's crazy. 511 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 5: Buck. 512 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: No, this guy's a he's a preacher of molok. I mean, 513 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: he is somebody who ploaks himself in Biblical verse in 514 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 2: order to promote the teachings of the Antichrist. I don't 515 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: know else to say. This guy is out of his mind. 516 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: The stuff that he's saying is completely what Christian What 517 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: Christian faith does he say that he represents? Or how 518 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 2: does he get here? You need you need to have 519 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: trans kids, You need to have abortion all nine months 520 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: of a pregnancy. You know what else does he want 521 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: to add into the mix? How does he feel about polyamory? 522 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: How does he feel about having nine wives? I just 523 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see him start to explain that 524 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: one to us. You know what about a throttle when 525 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: he could find I guarantee you this guy could find 526 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: you a biblical justification for it being in a throuple. 527 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: It's not a surprise that all of this is coming 528 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: out now. I would just say I think there's been 529 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of playing possum when it comes to Tallarico, 530 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: and Democrats have been saying, oh, he's a very moderate, 531 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: middle of the road guy. 532 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: There's actually a lot. 533 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: Of crazy out there from him, and uh, I don't 534 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: think it's coincidental that he wins the nomination and suddenly 535 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: you're starting to see all of the opposition research that's 536 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: been done on him. 537 00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: Again. 538 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: I Democrats, I would encourage them spend tens of millions 539 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: of dollars, flood the Texas economy with a lot of 540 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: your dollars from outside the state, and let's see what 541 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: Texans think of this. Because I don't think this race 542 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: is going to be close. Whether Ken Paxton or John 543 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: Cornyn ends up being the nominee. By the way, Caroline 544 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: Levitt has just taken the podium for a White House 545 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: press briefing.

You don't know right, but you could. 571 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 7: On the Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast. 572 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back in our number three Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. 573 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: It is a signalificant news Wednesday, as many of these 574 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: days often are. Let's take you back into exactly what 575 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: has transpired. We had a very powerful press conference, as 576 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: we discussed earlier in the show, from Pete Hegseth on 577 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: the situation in Iran. We will update you on that, 578 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: but the big takeaway is that we are close to 579 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: complete and total air superiority in Iran and that I 580 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: do believe things are going better and faster than anticipated 581 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: if they had tried to forecast how this attack was 582 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: going to go. We'll come back to that in a 583 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: sec and play a couple more of those cuts. From 584 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. But in Texas, As we 585 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: told many of you was likely to be the case. 586 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: We had James Tallerico beat our good friend Jasmine Crockett. 587 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: It pains me, as we said earlier in the program, 588 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: to see the Texas Democrat Party engage in such blatant racism, Buck, 589 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: for a white man to beat a black man like 590 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: the black woman like this. Can I just point out 591 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: this painful to my heart? Can I just point out that. 592 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: Clay suddenly wearing his Crockett gear a whole lot more. 593 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: I'm seeing Crockett t shirts, Crockett sweatshirts. He says it's 594 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: for the coffee company that we own. But I thought 595 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 2: it was a little suspicious that right when Jasmine Crockett 596 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: was in the political fight of her life, Clay was 597 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 2: mister Crockett all of a sudden, I'm just saying. 598 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: So, Jasmine Crockett goes down. We talked about this earlier 599 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: in the show. We had some deep dive into it. 600 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 2: Buck. 601 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: I think the reality is this is kind of what 602 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: she wanted. And MSNBC or ms NOW whatever the heck 603 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: they're called CNN, the view, they're all going to be 604 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 1: throwing money at Jasmine Crockett to become a television personality. 605 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: Her congressional career is over. And the other big name 606 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 1: I would say that went down, as we discussed earlier 607 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: in the program as well buck is Dan Crinshaw. I 608 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: did not know Dan Crinshaw well, but he had quite 609 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: the public profile. Have we ever had him on the program? 610 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: I think maybe we did. 611 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that Clay, before you 612 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 2: and I teamed up, I might have interviewed him one 613 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 2: time early on, and I remember, look, I'm just gonna 614 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 2: say it, there was so much enthusiasm around because you go, 615 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 2: oh gosh, this guy is a combat veteran, Navy seal, 616 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 2: wounded veteran. You know, this is just like what you 617 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: would create in a you know, conservative laboratory of congressional excellency, like, well, 618 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 2: this is the guy we want in Congress. And I 619 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: have tremendous respect obviously for what he did as a seal, 620 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 2: and and I none of that changes. But man, the 621 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: base turned on him and we had and neither you 622 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: nor I have. Look, you guys know, when we don't 623 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 2: like somebody, I try, I try to be honest about it, 624 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 2: but also be fair about it. You know, if we 625 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 2: don't like somebody. I never met the guy. I have 626 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,479 Speaker 2: no beef with him, no problem with him. So many 627 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 2: people I know in politics and in media despise that guy. 628 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 2: And it just strikes me as how you know what 629 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 2: I mean? We asked Michael Berry. Michael Berry was not 630 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: holding back on it. You can go back and listen 631 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 2: to the interview. Well, so that's the big upset. 632 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: I would say that came out of the Republican primary. 633 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: We told you that this was likely to happen as well, 634 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: and man, get your two by fours, because I think 635 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna get even nastier. Ken Paxton and John Cornyn 636 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: basically ran dead even in the Texas Republican Senate primary. 637 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: So tall Ico has advanced it. He is the Democrat nominee. 638 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 1: He's way more radical go figure than they have let 639 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, And we will certainly dive into that race 640 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: as it gets closer to November. But in the meantime, 641 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: John Cornyn, current incumbent senator, and Ken Paxton are going 642 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,919 Speaker 1: to go both of them around forty one, forty two 643 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Wesley Hunt, who we had on 644 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: the program, yesterday got around thirteen or fourteen percent in 645 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: third place, so he is eliminated and now tons of 646 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: money will get spent. I would imagine both Paxton and 647 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: Cornyn are going to be asking President Trump for an endorsement. 648 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: So far, President Trump has not endorsed anybody in this race. 649 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: We'll see what he does in late May, so a 650 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: little over two months from now, we will officially have 651 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: a Republican nominee. So I was texting with Buck some 652 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: as these results came in. No big surprises in Arizona, sorry, Arkansas, 653 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: or North Carolina. Our friend Michael Wattlee is going to 654 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: run against former Governor Roy Cooper. We got to invite out. 655 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: We almost had him scheduled the other day. I'm sure 656 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: Michael Wattley is going to be hugely important as we 657 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: look towards the Senate because that is a Republican seat 658 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: in North Carolina and Democrats have to flip four Senate 659 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: seats given jd Vance having the tie break Buck in 660 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: order to be able to take back control of the 661 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: US Senate. 662 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 2: We had corn In scheduled and they just said they 663 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 2: had a scheduled conflict. Maybe that is the case, but 664 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 2: you would think he would come on this show at 665 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 2: some point given the primary that he's in now you know, 666 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: the extended primary, and if he doesn't, I think it's 667 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 2: telling us something that I will say, Look, schedule, stuff 668 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: comes up, even if it's very last minute, and even 669 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 2: if it's after our good friend Michael Barry throws a 670 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 2: roundhouse kick with his cowboy boots on right to the 671 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 2: face of your campaign. However, however, maybe it was just 672 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 2: a little change, but we'd like him to come on 673 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,439 Speaker 2: at some point. We have some questions for mister Cornyn. Well, 674 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 2: it's only fair. 675 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: And again we also invited Tallarico into Jasmine Crockett because 676 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: unlike CBS and I do think this is a big 677 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: story buck in general. Again, the CBS attempt it may 678 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: well have been the difference maker for tall Erico, who 679 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: outspent Jasmine Crockett by five to one. I think it 680 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: was twenty five million to five million something like that. 681 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: And that added rays of money that he got from 682 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: the censorship that they claimed on Colbert might have been 683 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: what propelled him to the victory. I mean he won 684 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: by a relatively slim amount. I mean it was very close, 685 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: and I know some of you flipped over and voted 686 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: in the Democrat side. But tell Rico won by about 687 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: six seven points with ninety three percent of the vote 688 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: in at least and I do think that that is 689 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: maybe the part of the result is that they helped 690 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: rig it for him in the Democrat Party. 691 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 2: I would say Clay that in the interest of fairness, 692 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 2: because we have invited Tallarico on, I still would love 693 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 2: to have Jasmine Crockett on. I willieve if Jasmine Crockett 694 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 2: comes on, unless there's some ethics thing with cheese in Congress. 695 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 2: There's all these weird, you know, ethics rules in Congress. 696 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 2: Now you basically can't buy someone more than a coffee, 697 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 2: and it causes a problem. I was gonna say, I'll 698 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 2: send her a Crockett sweatshirt. Like I would love to 699 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 2: have Jasmine Crockett on the show. We would have a 700 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 2: very fun conversation. But for James Tallerico, I'll even give 701 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 2: him the questions in advance. It's like he's getting a 702 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 2: little sneak peak of the test. I would first want 703 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 2: to ask him is the future female James. I just 704 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 2: want to hear what he has to say to that. 705 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 2: And then Clay, if you wanted to follow up with 706 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 2: can a man become a woman? I feel like we'd 707 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 2: have a robust conversation with James Tallerico about this, and 708 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 2: then you can ask him about whether God is non binary, 709 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 2: which also came up recently. He said that. He also said, 710 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: and again he's got a lot of clothes. I'm triggered 711 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,760 Speaker 2: by this. God is clearly trans, James. 712 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 1: We all know God is non binary. He also said 713 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: that basically we should have a wider open southern border. 714 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 1: So again, the fever dream of the Democrat Party has 715 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: been that they can flip Texas. They've been trying to 716 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: do it for a long time now. They have not 717 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: won a statewide race in the state of Texas since 718 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, but that is at least worth contemplating 719 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: how that's going to shake out. You're good, buddy, Joe 720 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: Scarborough said, Boy, Republicans really blew it. Here is cut three. 721 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: How MSNBC is covering all of all of this, the 722 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: outcome in the Texas primary. 723 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 2: Cut three, here's. 724 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 5: Yet another example. 725 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 8: I swear, I just wish these Republicans weren't so stupid. 726 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 8: I wish that Listen to me. I'm trying to help 727 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 8: them out a little bit here, just to make it 728 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,240 Speaker 8: a fair fight in the fall. But what did we say? 729 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 8: What did we say? First of all, when they took 730 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 8: Colbert off the air, you're going to pay for it. 731 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 8: They did pay for it, with south Park three or 732 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 8: four days later deciding they're going to and even harder. Right, 733 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 8: and so here they try to keep taller Rico off 734 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 8: the show. 735 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 5: What happens They give him a boost. 736 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 8: If you talk to Jasmine Crockett, she'll say the same 737 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 8: thing I was ad until that controversy. So the very 738 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 8: person they were trying to defeat, the very person whose 739 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 8: message scared them, is the very person who they helped 740 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 8: win this race. 741 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 2: His political analysis is what you would expect from a 742 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 2: guy who told us in twenty twenty four that Joe 743 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 2: Biden was the sharpest he had ever been in his 744 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 2: entire life. Clay, this is not a surprise that Joe 745 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 2: Scarborough doesn't know his ass from his elbow. 746 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: This is so dumb that it honestly kind of blows 747 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: my mind that either he is really, really legitimately not 748 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: informed on this story, or or he is intentionally lying. 749 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: There's only two options here. Because Republicans had nothing to 750 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: do with this, nothing at all. The Colbert Show, for 751 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: the those of you have forgotten, set up a fake story, 752 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: which was we're gonna have James Tallerrico on. CBS's lawyer said, Hey, 753 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: if you're gonna have tall Rico on, you need to 754 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: have Jasmine Crockett on as well, because she is a 755 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: contender in this race on the equal time doctrine, and 756 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: maybe arguably you should also have Republicans on. But that's 757 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: a whole nother debate, and they pitched a fit. All 758 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 1: they had to do was put on Jasmin Crockett too. 759 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: This is one where I think Jasmine Crockett actually is 760 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: legitimately had a rig job run against her. But this 761 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 1: was all a Democrat operation. They desperately wanted tall Rico. 762 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: What he's got backward is a lot of us would 763 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: have preferred Jasmine Crockett because Jasmine Crockett had a zero 764 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: percent chance of winning. I think tall Rico has a 765 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: five to ten percent chance of winning, still low, but 766 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: zero to five to ten. If you gave me a 767 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: choice between the two options, and I was one of 768 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: the Republicans to win, I'd take the zero. 769 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 2: I'm with you, though, I just I feel like I 770 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 2: need to go find a safe space and to weep 771 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 2: some liberal tears about all the mansplaining and the racism. 772 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I thought the future was female. James Tallerico, 773 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough, Stephen Colbert. Apparently not if we're talking Jasmine Crockett. 774 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 2: You know what, you have a black woman who could 775 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 2: be the next standard bearer of the Democrats. And they 776 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 2: did everything they could. They Bernie sanders Her, to Bernie 777 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 2: sanders Her, They totally Bernie sandswers Her. 778 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: And you know what is actually also funny about this 779 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: story on the national political stage, Kamala endorsed Jasmine Crockett 780 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday, I believe this weekend and did a robo 781 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: call and said everybody get out and vote for Jasmine Crockett. 782 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett then lost, and Kamala and now has flipped 783 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: and endorse endorsed tall Rico. I just think it's when 784 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: you endorse a person and then the next day you 785 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: endorse the other person. Basically, that's a tough that's a 786 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: tough situation to find yourself in. She could have just 787 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: set out the whole thing. I'm sure that Kamala's advisor's 788 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: got in her ear and they said, Hey, this is 789 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: another black woman who's running for office. You need to, 790 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, continue to lock down black female support, speak 791 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: out for her, but do it late so the impact 792 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 1: will be minimal. If she loses, people won't talk about 793 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: it as much and then immediately flip and endorse the 794 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: white guy once the black woman loses. I mean, it 795 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: is very funny that we ended up in this situation. 796 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: All of the people doing absolutely fantastic work at the IFCJ. 797 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: Air sirens going right now across Israel constantly basically missiles 798 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 1: coming in from Iran, from Hesbola. Lives lost as a 799 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: result the IFCJ. They are committed to just trying to 800 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 1: keep as many people safe in Israel as possible. They 801 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: have large scale distributions of food for people who are 802 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,240 Speaker 1: in need, they have first Day. They are constantly building 803 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: more bomb shelters. Now, if you're driving down the road 804 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: in Israel, you get an alert on your phone that 805 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 1: there are missiles coming in. This is how people live 806 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: in Israel. You just pull off the side of the 807 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 1: road as close as you can to the nearest bomb shelter, 808 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: and then you just find yourself clustering in that bomb 809 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: shelter with tons of people you don't even know. That 810 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 1: is the life that they lead on a regular basis, 811 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: just completely normal. Hey, there's about to be missiles that land. 812 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,320 Speaker 1: Go get in your bomb shelters. The IFCJ builds those 813 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: four people of all different backgrounds in Israel. You can 814 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: join Buck and myself and rush a gift to help 815 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: during this time of war. Eight eight eight four eight 816 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. 817 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: You can also go online at IFCJ. That's IFCJ dot org. 818 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 2: Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We were talking Texas. 819 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 2: We spoke to our friend Michael Barry, and we couldn't 820 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 2: leave out our other favorite Texan, our friend Jesse Kelly, 821 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 2: who joins us now, syndicated radio host on Premiere Networks, 822 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 2: host of The Jesse Kelly Show, a man of both 823 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 2: tremendous insight and tremendous humility, joins us now. Mister Jesse Kelly, 824 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 2: You're welcome as always, sir. 825 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 6: It is a somber, somber day here in Texas. As 826 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 6: a radio host and TV host, I don't endorse political candidates. 827 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 5: It's not something I've ever done. 828 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 6: But I broke that rule in Texas yesterday and I 829 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 6: endorsed Jasmine Crockett as the Democrat nominee in Texas. And 830 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 6: I wake up today and find out the Jazzy did 831 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 6: not win her primary. 832 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 5: This is an outrage. There had to be cheating of 833 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 5: some kind. I don't even know how I'm gonna go on, 834 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 5: but I was pulling for big time. 835 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 2: It's just racism, Jesse. I think that's very obvious. Democrats 836 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 2: are very racist, very sexist, and they don't want the 837 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 2: future to be female. And they see a powerful black 838 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 2: woman and they stand. They threw everything in her way, 839 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 2: these Democrats. It was dirty, it was underhanded, and I'm 840 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 2: sad too. I could see how we're both in Clay 841 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 2: Is in a state of mourning. 842 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: I was harding me to get out of bed. I 843 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: just it's racism, racism, racism. Texas Democrats should be a shamed. 844 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 1: The white guy wins again and another talented black woman, 845 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: black girl magic. 846 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 2: It just I believed in it. I'm like you, Jesse, 847 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 2: and it just didn't come through. 848 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 5: All right. 849 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 2: Let me ask you. 850 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: This, by the way, more seriously, this just came down. 851 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,919 Speaker 1: President Trump has posted because we have a runoff now 852 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: right now between John Cornyn, current senator in Texas and 853 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton, and President Trump has just posted that he 854 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 1: is going to be endorsing soon and he expects the 855 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: other candidate to drop out. And we don't know exactly 856 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 1: how that endorsement would go or what that might be. 857 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,719 Speaker 1: But James tall Rico, we've been playing cuts from him. 858 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: We'll play a few more for you during the course 859 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: of the show. He is like a crazy left winger. 860 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: It feels like Democrat Republicans have been playing possum a 861 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: little bit here because he got the nomination and suddenly 862 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 1: there's twenty videos of him saying crazy things that are 863 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: immediately out. What's your read on this? Regardless of who 864 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: the Republican nominee is, is tall Rico a threat? 865 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 6: No, Tyl Rico is not a threat at all. He's 866 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 6: one of these guys. He's a state rep here. People 867 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 6: aren't going to know him, but they'll start to know 868 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 6: him now that he's going to get national recognition. But 869 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 6: he's well known here as being a far left lune. 870 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 6: His little district is far left. He's been a far 871 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 6: left luna his entire time here. In the Texas State legislature. 872 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 6: And because he's been in the legislature, he's on camera 873 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 6: saying all of these things. He is going to get 874 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 6: curb stomped in November. He has no chance whatsoever. The 875 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 6: things he says will go over like a turn and 876 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 6: a punch bowl in Texas. He has no chance whatsoever. 877 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,840 Speaker 6: We all just have to sit back right now and 878 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 6: hope and cross our fingers that Donald Trump doesn't do 879 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 6: when I'm very worried he might do. For all the 880 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 6: things he does well, he might be the worst endorser 881 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 6: of candidates in the history of the Republican Party. He 882 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 6: will find the biggest rhino swamp rat loser and repeatedly 883 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 6: endorse these people. We have a real opportunity to take 884 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 6: a rhino scalp and remove John Cornyn from the GOP, 885 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 6: which he should have been removed a long time ago. 886 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 6: And if Donald Trump kneecaps those efforts, I am going 887 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 6: to be so irate I might just spike my microphone 888 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 6: off the desk if he does it. I hope he's 889 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 6: not going to do it. I very much worry that 890 00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 6: he is going to do it. 891 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,919 Speaker 2: Him With Dan Crenshaw, Jesse he's right, he's pretty close 892 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 2: to him.

It's easy 1010 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 6: to break things, it's hard to make things. It's not 1011 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 6: hard for the United States of America to wipe out 1012 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 6: the Ayatola and every single scumbag in Iran we want to. 1013 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,280 Speaker 6: It is another thing entirely to install a government friendly 1014 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 6: to us and acceptable to the people that will be 1015 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 6: when it gets a little dice. 1016 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 1: How much do you think I know you're a military 1017 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 1: history guy too.
